Flat fix?

What comes with the 09 Carrera C2 regarding flat fix, other than 1-800-Porsche? Is there a plug kit and inflator in the "frunk?" I believe there is and need to look, but as of late, have not. In the meantime, I have my trusty can or two of fix a flat, which has come to my rescue more than once with other cars.....

There's a 'goo' can and a 12V compressor in the trunk. A tire patch repair kit is advisable.

EJ-997 is infamous around these parts
For about 2 weeks my right front tire had a slow leak. It was losing about 1 psi per day. I found a small nail and when I tried to remove the nail there was a rush of air so I pushed the nail back into the tire. Lucky for me the tire held up long enough to get it to the tire store for a patch. It has been almost a month and the tire has not lost any air.

I would get the tire patched/plugged from the inside before I ever would use the "goo" or fixed a flat. Have fun cleaning the rim after you use that stuff.
